I'm curious about this guy, how does he make money to live? From reading his site and articles about him it seems like he hasn't had a proper job since the 1970s and just travels the world doing whatever he wants supported by "helpers" who interact with non-free technology on his behalf. Who pays for it all?
He begs for money on several websites and charges for his meme speeches
This is why I hate that smug bastard. He hasn't done anything of value for a long time.
Hes a Jew. He doesnt need to worry about money.

I love the man but no ones going to pay for you to come and give an autistic rant
He really needs to actually start having a real income so he can give speeches for free

If they make the connection... if they realise the game we've been playing Bill... it's been what, 30 years now? The whole plan will fall apart! Do something!"

Gates made billions and is giving it away for the greater good of mankind. Stallman didn't make anything or any money and arguably has done nothing for the good of mankind. I don't think you can argue that OSS wouldn't exist without him.

You're only uncovering the top layers anon. Keep digging.

What do you expect? Neetbux of course. He doesn't need to pay an ISP since he uses McDonald's wifi.

Hes a techno communist living in a van who hacks proprietary routers for old ladies credit cards and free net access.

Stallman has huge speaking fees, he demands free accommodations, and he is part of the FSF

>giving it away for the greater good of mankind
No, that's in order to be remembered in a good way. That's probably what he primarily cares about.
Think about it like this: Heaven and Hell do exist, but not as something that the person in question experiences first hand: They are in the heads of the people living after you die.
Bill Gates simply doesn't want to go to Hell (where he belongs).

Agreed. He's right about a lot of things but I wish he would get back to contributing to free software instead of flaunting his lifestyle and acting smug about his avoidance of non-free software.

>Gates made billions and is giving it away for the greater good of mankind
will need to correct you here dear annon, he is not giving away, he is taking a proportion of his wealth which is still very small while still growing his personal wealth, that is for not going to hell and also millions miles from "giving it away"
The FSF makes enough money to help pay for his travel. He actually doesn't get very much (he lives below poverty level), but he's said that he doesn't mind and, if anything, gets reassurance knowing that money won't substantially influence his decisions.

Didn't need to read an article to know this -- just look at him, fucking hobo
Stallman survives solely on the highly evolved fungus that grows on his foot
He's like some kind of druid

>Only uses free software
>I-I-If someone can set it up for me because it's hard to do technology the way I want to
I wonder how long he had to flap his hands for an FSF servant to set him up with his all free thinkpad?
So sad to know that Stallman has turned into a nocode

Stallman made tons of shit
It was never his goal to make millions, otherwise he would have copyrighted and/or put DRM on GCC and any of the other software he wrote so he could make millions off of them
